What's On TV
So we have this new TV. NRK, the primary Norwegian network is showing The Kid, and old silent Charlie Chaplin film from 1921 at 5pm. It also stars a 9 year old Jackie Coogan, who grew up to become Uncle Fester. I seriously don't understand NRK or NRK2. If they aren't showing something like this, they show some strange live musical variety show where a bunch of people sit around a piano singing songs.

Did you know Coogan was once married to Betty Grable? Pin up girl and Uncle Fester, what a pair...
That is crazy- although Coogan was a "cute kid.". The movie was actually brilliant- it captured my attention, despite the fact that it was silent. It was creepy in how it depicted children almost being abused, and how it showed such gritty skid-row poverty- much harsher than anything shown today.
